So I'm going to be getting together a few things from the ARG and get permission to release them to you guys, because some of this stuff is awesome, some of it is hilarious, and some of it is just plain interesting!

The first couple of things I want to release are both from the recording where Morgan reficced Moriarty. I was the one who edited together that recording, though I was not the one who recorded the various parts. If you think it was bad listening to the final thing, imagine what it was like for me editing it.

With that in mind, allow me to introduce the first asset: One particular take of the kissing sounds. Yes, you've heard that before and most of it did actually end up in the final thing, but this one has a rather hilarious interlude which didn't. What is it? You'll have to listen to find out. >:D (Why yes, I am evil, thank you very much.)

The second is what I called the Refic Wind. Dana and Tom recorded several takes of themselves blowing past the microphone trying to sound like wind, and I did my best to edit it all together into what the script called for, which was, respectively, "A light wooshing sound. A breeze, perhaps.", "The breeze picks up into wind." and "The wind picks up into a mighty gale." I think I did a pretty good job, although if I did it again I'm not sure if I'd have the gale come in as suddenly as it does at 0:34.

I'm going to see if I can get more assets for you guys, so stay tuned.

[edit: And yes, I'm sorry that these are on Google Drive! I *think* you can get these without an account though. Let me know if that's not the case!]

[edit 2: By the way, I should point out that we're not, as of yet, releasing these under any sort of open or free-use licence, so please don't use these in anything you do. It's not that we've made an actual decision to do that, though - we simply haven't discussed anything like that so far. I just asked to get permission to show these to you guys. In other words: All rights are reserved for now.]

Here are two Mr. A videos that never saw the light. They represented the two branches of the original ending. Portions of these videos were cannibalized for our cooler ending. Some parts of them will be new to you. None of them are canon.

While we're releasing Mr A stuff, I figured I'd share a phone message that actually was accessible during the ARG, but nobody ever heard it!

Remember that agent of Mr A's who left his pony backpack at a games store, who you had to call repeatedly to obtain the location of his wall piece? Mr A wasn't happy with him releasing that information. Had you called that number back a day or so after you'd found it, you'd have heard this:

I never thought of this, but after the outtake on the kissing sounds I can't help wondering if there was actual kissing involved.

The final stages of the Refic Wind would fit right in some epic Slenderman showdown video.

Mr. A has enormous ears in the second ending vid.

Can't believe we haven't tried to refic Mr. A! Maybe that's because we've established he wasn't really fictional by that time, but still. I am now tempted to write him a particularly derpy and inept instantiation.

Finally,

This can totally be a plotline where we have to travel beyond the Wall, and when this proves impossible (for some reason :3 ), we write fictional us to do the job.

I have attempted to suppress my inner hyperspace future gardener crying out against all the injustice I am committing.

So, uh, I was trawling through the tropes pages, and realized that since the Xovr site is no longer up, the echoes that were on it are inaccessible. Were they uploaded elsewhere, and if not, can we get them? I'd sorta like to have those files as memories, if nothing else.
